asked the Minister for Education the reason the building of an extension to a school (details supplied) in County Galway, which was sanctioned by her Department in August 1987 for which the full local contribution, as required by her Department, was immediately paid by the Board of Management, has not been proceeded with.
The question of placing a contract for the building of an extension to the school referred to is being considered in the light of my Department's 1988 capital allocation for its national schools building programme. A decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as soon as possible.
